Many students filed their taxes alone as independents for the first time by today, the deadline tor federal income tax?s,
Some students said filing their taxes was a daunting challenge since they were new to the process and unfamiliar with the nuances of the system.
John Barcal, associate professor in the Leventhal School of Accounting, said one of the leading problems facing students is procrastination.
“Students are used to exam and paper deadlines. Students should (have looked) at April 15th and establish an artificial deadline,” Barcal said.
Above all, Barcal said he advises students to complete their taxes early to avoid the last-minute rush to file.
"In waiting until the last week to file, I had difficulties finding the right information (such as bank statements) that was sent to me to put into the worksheets," said Wendy Levine, a freshman majoring in business administration.
Others who did.not procrastinate acknowledge benefits to filing well in advance of the national tax-day deadline.

Former and current Trojan athletes discussed the unique, intense rivalry between USC and UCLA and the ability of athletes to transition into the workforce at Heritage Hall Auditorium Thursday night.
Sponsored by the USC Career Planning and Placement Center, “The USC/UCLA Rivalry: Perspectives
From A Trojan Athlete & Journalist," featured Lonnie White, a sports writer for the Los Angeles Times and former USC football player and track-and-field athlete.
About 30 people attended the event.
White wrote a book based on his passion and interest in the special rivalry between UCLA and USC.
“The book is different because it covers all the sports rivalries,” White said.
Titled “UCLA vs. USC: 75 Years of the Greatest Rivalry in Sports,” the book covers sports from women's volleyball to track and field, he said.
White talked about the transition from athletics to a career in the media and gave personal insights on pursuing a career in journalism and maintaining success while in it.
He wrote for the Daily Trojan when he was a student, and landed a job at the Los Angeles Times after he graduated with a bachelor of art's degree in broadcast journalism and started out as a desk clerk, picking up phone calls and making photocopies.
"Because I was so determined, I would try to find stories that people didn't want to write," White said.
“You've got to get out there or else someone will beat you to the punch."
White introduced two former USC athletes, who also provided their perspectives on the USC vs. UCLA rivalry.
Randy Tanner, a former USC football and baseball player who roomed with White while in college, spoke about the separation between the crosstown rivals.
"From the beginning, the line was drawn," said Tanner, who is now a regional manager for consumer products company Kimberly-Clark. "You were either going to be a Trojan or a Bruin.”
